Finally, here it is!
The Dell XPS 15 7590 is here!
This is my unboxing and first-hand experience of the laptop.
My configuration:
9th Gen i7 Processor
4K OLED (non-touch version)
16 GB RAM (will upgrade)
512 GB SSD (already upgraded to 2TB)
NOTE:
I still can’t add external links in my videos. So, here are the specs of the laptop.
Things I like:
1. The screen! It’s AWESOME!
The OLED screen is super awesome. I compared it with the MacBook Pro 15″ 2017 version and Dell was way ahead than that. Even though the screen is (claimed to be) brighter in the MacBook, the contrast ratio of the Dell is unmatched. The colors are vibrant and the blacks are pitch black.
NOTE: The screen flickering can be fixed by disabling the “Panel Self-Refresh” from the Intel UHD Graphics Control Panel.
2. The keyboard.
One thing I hate about laptop keyboards is the keyboard. For some reason, laptop manufacturers make it unusable. But not with this one. The laptop is very comfortable to type with good key travel.
3. The design.
The aluminum body is great with a matte finish, and the carbon fiber on the inside feels good to rest the arm.
Things I don’t like:
1. Wifi
Same as the older models, the WiFi problem persists. After three days, the WiFi module stopped and I still couldn’t find a way to fix it.
UPDATE:
Finally, I got it fixed (hopefully) by resetting the Network (In the Network Settings — Status — Reset Network). Then shut down the computer. Unplug power. Remove the battery if possible. Leave if for a couple of minutes. Then plug them back. Press and hold the power button for around 30 mins until it starts. Then the drivers should be reset and try installing the drivers again.
Let me know if this worked for you.
2. Ports
Even though they have USB 3 and SD card slot, I expected more ports such as one more USB-C/Thunderbolt port and/or one more USB port.
3. Speakers
Speakers are downward-firing and they suck big time!
4. There are some issues with the NVidia drivers, so Adobe Premiere and Media Encoder get stuck in the middle. Because of this, it uses either CPU or the Intel Graphics and then the fan goes like wroooooommmmm…. Even louder than my table fan 😛
UPDATE:
The issue seems to be fixed after upgrading BIOS and NVidia drivers.
But I hope NVidia or Adobe will fix it soon. (So, it’s not an issue with the laptop).
Overall, I have a good impression over the laptop and I will keep you updated about the issues.
Enjoy!
Recommended RAM upgrade:

bro please review fast you're very slow & look like confusing please be genuine
Bro please can you make a video on how to properly upgrade the ssd but also show how to reinstall Windows?
Other reviews have talked about the heating issue, did you find this too especially when heavy video editing? And does the i9 have bigger heating issues?
Great video bro!
What cost sir??
Finaly some good review.
chutiye english ati nehi to indian face leke try kuy karte he…
I have a question im getting one with 4kuhd touch i7 9th gen but how many performance would you actually be losing compared to the i9 one?
Thanks for walking through and being a regular person about it, not a caricature like some channels. I opted for a bigger ssd, and the regular FHD screen–but I'm an audio guy, and only do a little with video. Keep grinding!
do you recommend dell xps 15, 7590 (i7, 8th gen, 32 gb ram), touch display (i also need stylus support)
i do lots of multi-tasking. i run 3 browser (mozilla,, chrom, internet explore) simultaneously and run mutiple tabs in each. simultaneously i run 2 – 3 heavy sofware and 2 light software. my old laptop is slow in terms of speed . it cant handle all those smoothly. i also love 4k display. i also like to write notes in college. which laptop should i buy. give me link of that laptop . i will buy from that link
i am a student and i do lots of note writing in laptop. which xps 15 should i buy. i need 4k display with wacom stylus support. please provide me link
Ugly piece of garbages …. Mac keyboard is bad?
Great video for this laptop! Thank you! I've ordered my 7590 with OLED, and can't wait to get back into a Windows machine! Should be coming by Oct 18th – fingers crossed!
So as for video editing – have you any experience with an editor from Cyberlink called Power Director 17? I'd love to use Adobe Premier Pro, but not a fan of the expensive monthly subscription. I'm fairly new to video editing.
Thanks!
Brother what's the price of the version that you have bought.
And is there any extra slot for SSD.
Nice vid thanks. Though did you test the speed of the standard SSD? I think I watched a vid where this 7590 is much better than the 9570. Getting an SSD upgrade is mega pricey. Also how are you finding the reflective nature of the OLED? Like others my budget doesn't stretch to the OLED and the full hd is the one I'm going for.
are you Srilankan man??
Is this good for programming gonna start my masters soon in network design and security think this should be able to handle it?
how about thermal and coil whine?
